Fastest delivery: Tomorrow* Disclaimer:
For next-day delivery, the shipping address must be in the AusPost next-day network, eParcel Express must be selected, and the order must be placed before 2PM AEST Mon-Thurs excluding NSW Public Holidays. Orders may be delayed due to AusPost pickup timings and order verifications. eParcel Express is typically a 1-day service within the AusPost next-day network, though it is sometimes 2+ days.

For use in Australia

  • Operate only in bands and with settings that are permitted for your location and application. Check this product’s supported frequencies in the description/specs.
  • If you intend to operate outside shared/licence‑exempt conditions (e.g. in other bands, at higher power, with high‑gain antennas, or extended duty cycles), you must have the appropriate authorisation.

For use in other regions

  • Follow the spectrum rules for your country/region and select frequencies and settings accordingly.

A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout.

The FlySky FS-i6 is a programmable, 6-channel 2.4GHz AFHDS 2A radio telemetry system designed to provide control over a wide array of RC vehicles. Acting as the command centre for your project, it transmits high-resolution control signals to a paired receiver, making it a staple for fixed-wing aircraft, multicopters, and even robotic platforms.

For makers transitioning from basic "toy-grade" controllers, the FS-i6 solves the common frustration of signal interference and limited customisation. By utilising a digital frequency hopping system and allowing for 20 distinct model profiles, this transmitter eliminates the need for multiple controllers and provides the reliability required for long-range outdoor flight or interference-heavy workshop environments.

Despite its entry-level price point, the FS-i6 features an ergonomic, solid chassis and a clear, backlit LCD for real-time telemetry and programming. It is built to a high standard of engineering, featuring high-gain omnidirectional antennas and a 4096-step stick resolution that ensures smooth, granular movement for every servo or motor in your build.

For simple, one-way communication over one wire, the FS-X14S Sbus receiver is the go to, especially for custom robotics projects where your own microcontroller is handling actuator movement. Or if RC/PWM is your protocol of choice, the FS-iA4B is perfect.

Requires 4x AA Batteries (sold separately), we recommend the Eneloop NiMH cells (also available without a charger), allowing the controller to last ages before requiring a recharge

Features

  • Maintain a rock-solid connection in cluttered RF environments thanks to the AFHDS 2A (Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System) which constantly switches between 142 channels to find the clearest path.
  • Monitor your vehicle’s health in real-time using the integrated bidirectional telemetry, allowing you to track receiver voltage and sensor data directly on the transmitter screen.
  • Scale your hobby without clutter by utilising the 20-model memory, which lets you switch between different aircraft or robots with unique trims and mixes.
  • Achieve professional-grade precision with 4096 levels of stick resolution, providing the fine motor control necessary for stable hovering and aerobatic manoeuvres.
  • Customise your control logic through the intuitive menu system, featuring programmable mixes, adjustable throttle curves, and sub-trims to fine-tune your hardware's mechanical performance.
  • Future-proof your gear with a dedicated data port that supports firmware updates and allows for connection to a PC for simulators or a microcontroller or SBC for robotics projects.
